With a love for fun, reasons to celebrate, my three precious daughters and a previous career in Events and parties – planning and hosting kids parties is my idea of fun. But all too often, I am amazed at how even the mention of a kids party stresses most mamas out. And for me, that […]
Your family is expanding and there is most likely lots of excitement and joy, but that won’t be without its ups and downs. In my experience, transitioning from a family of 3 to 4 was possibly one of the most challenging times of my life – BUT – we got through it! If your family […]
We are away for a week of the school holidays and the first thing Elijah asked me to pack for him were his books. I almost had to take a whole separate suitcase for them. Darrell and I were such bookworms, such nerds. Darrell had even alphabetized our library in our old home after he […]
Not having help in the home is proving to be quite hard with just Elijah and I but I am also using it as a great learning experience. Elijah is at the right stage where he gains so much from doing things for himself and doing chores around the home. Gone are the days (i.e..when […]
All I can say is to accept help when it is offered. When Elijah was born I was so deeply protective of him that I did not want anyone to touch him, I did not even trust his father! Life would have been so much more pleasant in those first few weeks if I had […]
It’s the day before our family adds two more feet, and we’re incredibly excited with a seriously big side order of nerves. I can’t believe that we get to meet our second little miracle baby so soon! I guess being the second time around we’ve learnt what the real newborn essentials are. Or, at least […]

Hi my name is Angela and I am Elijah's mummy. I am a widowed mom living in Cape Town with my three year old son Elijah and our many animals. I am a photographer and blogger who loves her coffee. Elijah and I love going off on adventures. Having a little boy and then shortly afterwards losing my husband has made me become a bit of a tomboy as I need to keep up with my crazy adventurous three year old. On weekends you will find us playing on the beach, racing around the bike track or testing out some new kiddie play centre. Always with a coffee in hand.
